Be careful with that cold therapy

Spring is here for many of you. I'm sure you can't wait to get out of the house to get some fresh air and sunshine. There's no shortage of outdoor activities out there. Wouldn't it be a welcome change to trek a jungle trail instead of walking on the treadmill?

It's easy to get a little too enthusiastic with those limbs and joints though. Luckily most minor injuries can be treated with cold therapy such as an icepack.

So simple, right? Except that the danger with cold therapies is that if you apply temperatures that are too cold for an extended period of time on your injury, you may be causing more damage than good.

Some people are suffering chronic pain, frostbite, even permanent nerve damage as a result of cold therapy gone wrong and have landed themselves in more than a simple cold therapy lawsuit.

Bigger, tastier, cheaper!

We've practically given up on eating out since our holiday overseas. Even though many of the restaurants are franchises and the food quality, serving sizes and prices are supposed to be pretty standard, let me assure you it's not.

To be very honest, MD is the one place I'd never thought we'd ever stop visiting. But we have! The burgers are much smaller here and taste different. The varieties are naturally very limited when compared to what we can get overseas. They have juicy burritos, scrumptious bacon burgers, huge refreshing salads and their coffee is almost as good as Starbucks but costs a whole lot less.

The servings at CH, FR and TR can feed two overseas but here, after wolfing down your entire order, you still feel like reaching across the table to help yourself to someone else's order! Not to complain but it definitely tastes better there.
